In addition to the international contributions of the renowned Parisian photographers Eugène Atget and Edith Guerin\, Armenian-Turkish photographer Ara Güler and Lithuanian photographer Arūnas Baltėnas\, this exhibition will bring together contemporary artists from Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean to the House of Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios\, a space of transcultural memories\, encounters and histories. \n Two aspects of the exhibition make it unique in curatorial practices in the context of Cyprus:\n Firstly\, the exhibition brings together artists and poets from the Eastern Mediterranean. This inter-medial approach provides additional opportunities that the single medium of poetry or visual arts working within the strict confines of their medium could not have provided on their own. Additionally\, using the space of the House of Hadjigeorgakis provides an additional dimension of experience through its Ottoman architecture and transcultural memory exchanges to bring to a museum going public a new experience that is usually confined to the gallery space. \n Participating International Artists:\n Eugène Atget (1857-1927) — France\n Arūnas Baltėnas – Lithuania\n Edith Guérin (1910-1998) — France\n Ara Güler (1928-2018)— Τurkey\n Leslie Hakim-Dowek – United Kingdom/Lebanon\n Mustafa Hulusi – United Kingdom/Cyprus \n Artists-Poets Collaborations:\n Etel Adnan\n Alev Adil – Lily Michaelides\n Katerina Attalidou – Niki Marangou (1948-2013)\n Asli Bolayir – Filiz Naldöven (1953-2016)\n Kyriaki Costa – Stephanos Stephanides\n Peter Eramian – Stelios Kallinikou – Haytham el-Wardany\n Lia Lapithi – Daphne Nikita – Elena Fitikidou Alonefti\n Alexandros Pissourios – Lyssandros Pitharas (1960-1992)\n Leontios Toumpouris – Mehmet Yashin\n Natalie Yiaxi \n  \n Curators: Dr. Alev Adil\, Dr. Gabriel Koureas\n Production: Catherine Louis Nikita \n Venue\n\n Name: The House of Hadjigeorkakis Kornesios\n Telephone No:  +357 22 305 316 \n Website: http://www.culture.gov.cy/dmculture/da/da.nsf/DMLindex_gr/DMLindex_gr?OpenDocument \n Start Date/End Date: 25 October – 19 November 2023 \n Start time/End time:  Tuesday-Friday 8:30-15:30  / Saturday 9:30-16:30 \n Entrance:  Free \n For more information click here\n  \n\nOrganiser Contact Details \nName: BPRarts\nTelephone: 99 48 66 16\nEmail: Catherinenikita@bprarts.com\nPostal Address: 32 Dimofondos 1075 Nicosia URL:https://www.visitcyprus.com/event/seeing-through-melancholia-transcultural-melancholias-huzun-in-the-eastern-mediterranean/ LOCATION:Prastio CATEGORIES:Art Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.visitcyprus.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/6528e1d85fd765.95414280.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
